Will it be put into the Google Play Store?

The APP is free so I guess it will just be downloadable from GHL site. Easy one point access would be my best guess.

My heart skipped a beat! Any rough indication on how far behind the iPhone/iPad version is?

I suspect a while as its a whole different beast with a lot more expense. But thats just my thoughts.

Just been playing with it, it's brilliant. Thank you.

Is it capable of remote access? It works on my home network but oesn't seem to connect for me remotely.

Yes if you have your system configured for remote access and your router is forwarding correctly it will connect remotely (you'll need to set up a totally different connection profile) just as well as locally. Remember in order to connect remotely you'll have to disconnect from your LAN for it to resolve correctly.

Thanks, I've been using the 'other' app for remote access which works, I used the same settings in another profile on the GHL app, tried to connect over my mobile Internet on my phone and it tries to connect then says no response. I'll keep fiddling.

Sorted, it appears my poor mobile signal was to blame.

I guess I'll just have to install the Android SDK, which has a built in Phone Emulator to play with the application for now! ;)

The App will not download from a wireless connection to my Android ph? anyone else having this issue? keeps saying unsuccessful.

JasonK
05.02.2013, 00:47
Yeah (well on the Andriod emulator anyway) It keeps downloading the .php file which is just he actual download button code I guess?

Okay, I got it working once I got my firewall to let the traffic through. Im at work and couldnt wait for quitting time :)

Only thing that isnt looking right for me is the graphing, but it could just be my data. Screen shots incoming.

Maybe a suggestion for Matthias (http://forum.aquariumcomputer.com/member.php?1-Matthias) but it maybe worth noting somewhere the minimum Firmware version level for the Profilux to be running on for the app to work. It could possibly save a lot of "Why is my app not working type questions"

What version of profilux firmware need to be run the apps, please?

Is that possible on the profilux 3.1a with lan card connected to airport express?
Or is it just 3.1n?

Minimum is 5.15 which is actually the last [stable] one.

Gunther

No. Only devices with build-in webserver. These are at the moment Profilux 3 and 3.1N

So in terms of this new Android App, why will it not down load? it just hangs? do you have to be a PC guru to work it.

Hello

I have update the firmware, but the apps doesn't work!
I have the error message "No reponse from the device".
Is I missed something in the configuration?

So the app itself is working.

Could you open the Profilux website with your internet browser of the cellphone?

Nory

yes ;-)

Yes, it works perfectly on my internet browser of the smartphone

Gunther
05.02.2013, 13:49
Yes, it works perfectly

So it´s not an issue from the Profilux or the route. Maybe you have set a wrong internet address or password.
Also maybe the connection is very slow. In this case a second try will help mostly.

I did similar to what Nory suggested.. I downloaded it to my laptop and then moved it into my "Drop Box" location. (google Dropbox.com if you don't know what that is). Then I went to the dropbox website, logged into my account, and clicked on the GHL AP file there. My tablet recognized the file and launched the "Ap Installer" from there. The rest was a piece of cake.

What is happening or I guess what is "not" happening? More details and we can try to figure it out as a collective mind :)

Works like a charm.

BigAl07

5.15 has been very solid and stable... at least for me. I wouldn't worry about upgrading to that version at all. Just make sure you back everything up prior to the upgrade.

Basically nothing is happening.
I select to download the App and it say in progress , then failed.
Also downloaded it on to my PC then emailed it to my smartphone. that did not work either.

BigAl07

Does your phone have SIM card in it? You can insert that into your laptop (card reader via USB), move it onto the card, then insert the card back into the phone. Browse for the file and click on it. I have never done the GHL Ap like this but I did another ap a few months back on my Motorola Droid Razr MAXX.

The install to my phone was a simple "Click on the link" and off it went.

reef

Will look to do this, but why is it such a issue? never have problems downloaded any other App.

Halfmoon

Why not add it to the Google play store? Just curious. Because, I can't get it on my phone either.

what needs to be backed up?

JasonK

Write your settings out to file, I do this as part of any firmware upgrade. (and not just for the Profilux)

In Profilux Control Its in File, Transmit All Settings From Profilux to File.

Its great the App is available , however it can't be down loaded, it appears a few are having this issue.

Is GHL looking into it??

Halfmoon
07.02.2013, 16:03
I use a Samsung with Android and was able to get it on the phone with Kies, downloaded to the computer then transferred it to the phone under personal downloads and ran it from there. Working fine now. The only problem I had connecting was the password. I use long passwords and GHL only seems to allow 8 characters, once I figured that out I was golden. HTH someone. You also need to set the phone to allow it to use apps not from Google play store, I did anyway.

this was on purpose for security reasons - as soon as you leave a manual menu the automatic mode is activated again
